Chapter 192 The leadership team of the General Office
Schneider saw that everyone's eyes were gradually focused on him. Of course he understood the meaning. He smiled slightly and said: "If everyone thinks it is more appropriate for me to go, then I will do my part. To be honest, Guangzhou is a place like this. I have been there many times before traveling, but I am really curious about what Guangzhou looked like in the 17th century. But there is a problem we must solve first - I am now the director of the Port District Management Committee. , it has only been two days since I took office, and the office has not been built yet. Is it unprecedented to leave office so soon?”
Of course Tao Donglai knew that he did not mean to hold on to the position of top leader of the Port District Management Committee, but that he had to solve the problem of handover of responsibilities after leaving office before he could go to Guangzhou with peace of mind.
Tao Donglai thought for a while and then said: "The position of the leader must not be left vacant. I think it should be filled by the deputy."
The deputy leader of the Port Area Management Committee, which was still in the preparation stage, was Ren Liang, so without knowing anything about it, Ren Liang was promoted by half a level with a few words, and became the top leader of the Port Area Management Committee. The smooth handover of this position is also because the business plan of Victory Port has not yet entered the implementation and operation stage. Otherwise, the handover of the work at hand will not be completed in a few days.
Tao Donglai said: "Do you have any different opinions on the leadership selection of the General Office of the People's Republic of China?"
Regarding Tao Donglai's question, there were no objections from previous regular meetings. The reason is also very simple. It is imperative to establish the Guangdong Office in Guangdong, and there is no one else who is qualified to choose the leader except Schneider. Even if there is still one in his heart, There are different opinions, but there is no better candidate. Rather than jumping out to object and then being criticized by others for "you go ahead, go ahead", it is better to obey the collective decision honestly.
Tao Donglai waited for a while, but when no one expressed his position, he nodded and said: "Then the candidate for the leadership has been decided first. Schneider will be the administrative leader of the Guangdong Office."
Schneider said: "According to tradition, should there be another person who works with me?"
Tao Donglai responded: "Considering the special nature of the Office, I personally propose that someone from the Military and Police Department be the second-in-command of the Office."
Yan Chujie raised an arm without even the slightest hesitation: "I agree with Mr. Tao's proposal."
Schneider smiled and said: "I think that to go to Guangzhou, you must have a master as a bodyguard, so I also agree with Mr. Tao's suggestion."
Several other people exchanged glances with each other and slowly raised their hands to express their agreement. Since Schneider has been appointed as the first-in-command, it is not unacceptable to hand over the second-in-command to the military attache system.
In the previous two overseas units, although the second-in-command of the Cliff Office was not held by the military but Qiu Yuan from the accounting department, the third-ranking figure, He Xi, had even more freedom of movement than the first-ranking officer. Maliko is still older and belongs to the truly privileged class. In direct proportion to the privileges he enjoyed, He Xi's performance and role were equally outstanding, making it impossible for the civil service system to find any loopholes to complain about. When the Black Tu Port Management Committee was preparing for its establishment, the Executive Committee directly appointed Qian Tiandun as the second-in-command. Facts have proved that this decision was quite correct. Black Tu Port was able to start producing output in just over a month. The public security department headed by Qian Tiandun also contributed a lot.
The successful experiences of these two overseas units have given the Military and Police Department more confidence to participate in the division of powers when preparing to establish new units. Of course, the civilian system is also very aware that an organization like the General Office cannot exclude the military, so it has no intention of going against the military's opinion on this issue.
"So do you have any ideas about the choice of partner?" Tao Donglai asked Schneider.
"Can I choose?" Schneider asked in shock. The selection of personnel stationed abroad has always been either through open registration or through recommendation by each counterpart unit, but there has never been a situation where the leaders of the units stationed abroad made their own decisions.
"After all, the situation in Guangzhou is relatively complicated. If the leadership team of the Guangdong Office in Guangdong still needs time to slowly adjust, it may delay the business." Tao Donglai explained: "If you have a candidate who you think is better, you might as well put it forward to everyone. Let’s discuss it.”
Tao Donglai's opinion indeed took into account the actual situation that the Guangdong Office will face after its establishment. Guangzhou's social complexity is far greater than that of Yazhou and Heitugang. If the leadership team of the Guangdong Office cannot be very clear from the beginning, If we cannot cooperate well, the entire work of the Guangzhou Guangdong Office may be affected by this. As for Schneider's ability and vision, Tao Donglai is very trustworthy, otherwise he would not have roped him into the organizing committee when he joined, and Schneider's subsequent performance was also very worthy of Tao Donglai. Trust, not only helped the Cross Travel Group obtain a large amount of funds through "financial means", but he has also been working diligently since the time travel and has not made any mistakes. It was based on this sense of trust that Tao Donglai uncharacteristically asked Schneider to recommend candidates for the team. Of course, since it is the executive committee, it cannot be a one-man talk. Schneider can propose candidates, but they still have to be discussed and voted on by the executive committee. No matter how great Tao Donglai's internal prestige is, this basic discussion system must still be followed.
Schneider thought for a while and said: "I think Wang Tom is good. He has military qualities and is familiar with sea routes. Moreover, we have lived in Western countries for a long time, so we have more common languages. And after he came back from Black Earth Port, he didn't seem to have any specific responsibilities. position?”
The last time the Executive Committee sent an expedition team to explore the route from Victory Port to Black Earth Port, Wang Tom was appointed as the captain of the expedition team. When the colonization team went out, Wang Tom took on the leadership of the escort fleet. However, after returning from that time, Wang Tom returned to his previous post after handing in his errand. Because Wang Tom's major is astronomy and navigation, and currently the Cross-Travel Group definitely does not have the conditions to provide him with a separate observatory or other facilities, so he has no choice but to continue to be a crew member for the time being and accept the dual leadership of the Military Police Department and the Shipping Department.
As soon as Schneider finished speaking, Yue Zhiyun expressed his objection on behalf of the Ministry of Shipping: "Although Tom does not hold any specific position now, his work schedule is very full. He has to go to sea for half a day every day, and the other half In addition to assisting the Shipping Department in training the newly arrived sailors from Guangzhou, he also serves as a technical consultant to the shipyard and must attend technical discussions at the shipyard every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. If he leaves, these tasks will be lost. It will definitely be greatly affected.”
Yan Chujie also added: "The Military and Police Department now has internal training twice a month, which specializes in training instructors from the new barracks and naturalized grassroots officers. Wang Tom is one of the tactical instructors and is responsible for teaching close combat skills. He is the current If I leave, the subsequent training plan will not be implemented.”
Schneider shook his head and said: "Aren't there six people in the North American Gang? Tom Wang can do it, and several other people can almost do it too!"
"Several other people must also be free." Ning Qi, who was in charge of human resources deployment and was familiar with the work of internal staff, immediately answered: "Roger, Shi Diwen, and Qiao Zhiya are all in Tiandu Industrial Zone, and they will be there for a while. As for the two foreign doctors, Old Morgan went to Lidong and Miao Village in the interior to conduct medical tours. It is estimated that he will not be able to come back for half a month. Now only Johnson is guarding the base camp. There is only one doctor left. If he is asked to do Wang Tom’s job, who will be responsible for treating the patients? Do you dare to take the medicine prescribed by the little nurse? "
Schneider curled his lips, obviously unable to accept this result, but soon he came up with a new plan: "Can I remove the people from the Cliff Office?"
Tao Donglai asked: "Tell me who you want to take away first?"
"He Xi." Schneider explained: "He Xi is from the Military and Police Department, which meets your requirements. Moreover, he has served as a police officer and is familiar with all aspects of business. Moreover, he is also a secret front worker. In this way, the General Office of the People's Republic of China can save one espionage officer."
To be honest, Tao Donglai wouldn't be too surprised if Schneider named anyone in the Cliff Office. The candidates for the Yazhou Office were selected through public selection. It can be said that these people who volunteered to stay in Yazhou all had certain career ambitions and wanted to take this opportunity to add to their resumes—— Of course, Zhang Guang is an exception. At least half of his purpose is to go to Zhao Xiaoruo.
Naturally, these people in the Yazhou Office are not willing to stay in the small county town of Yazhou to spend their lives. Their purpose is to use this opportunity to step onto a bigger stage, and the Executive Committee is well aware of this. So far, the affairs of the Yazhou Office have been going smoothly, and the one who has performed best among them is undoubtedly He Xi. His intelligence work has turned Yazhou, which was originally neglected to guard against, into a big sieve, with people everywhere. Loopholes, the threat to the Victory Port area has also been greatly reduced.
However, due to He Xi's special status, except for a few people who worked with him and some members of the executive committee and the military and police department, these achievements have not been widely publicized. Even now, many people do not know about Zhuya. Who is the person who did it? Although there is no way to publicly commend He Xi's achievements, the executive committee members naturally have a strong sense of balance in their hearts and are willing to give He Xi some better development opportunities at the right time.
Schneider's proposal indeed met the needs of many parties. As the competent department, the Military and Police Department would naturally not object to their people gaining greater authority in the system, and He Xi's previous work ability and performance were sufficient. Let other dissenting voices fall away.
